I know. ![]() ![]() Oddly enough, I, Zombie might be the only comic I can afford this week (after the con prep). |

I told him he was preaching to the choir, but that he should send them a letter. |

Me too, I was already missing him in the previous few review threads. He understood, among other things, the value of the corny pun. The comics industry and fandom in general are poorer for having lost a long-time reader and fan as well. |

I have been looking forward to this since it was introduced at the Vertigo Comics panel last summer at SDCC and in my opinion the hype was definitely met. What a fun book, a Zombie, Ghost, and Were-Terrier... and Vampires? This is right up my ally and I cannot wait for the second issue to come out. Vertigo has been knocking it out of the park with these $1.00 number 1's... consider this already added to my pull list. After all that gushing I still have not mentioned the art which is perfect for this book, I don't really know shit about what is considered technically good or bad art I just know what looks good to my eyes and I dug the tone of the coloring and how the characters were drawn, nothing to busy but not too simplified... I dig. In honor of Old Man I gave this book a perfect score and think it is the best thing ever written since Blackest Night #8 R.I.P. Old Man, you and your reviews will be missed.

I rarely buy any Vertigo singles because I love to wait for the trades. Vertigo is my trade King. After reading this, though, I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to wait. It's like taking the best of the horror creatures and throwing them into a Twin Peaks style community. Although it also reminds me a bit of True Blood in its opening issue, but there's enough bizzareness in this book to make me want to come back. And as much as the main heroine is interesting with some serious potential, I'm already sold on Spot. I can't wait to get his origin! Michael Allerd's art was a nice compliment to the story as well. Some of the dialogue was a bit corney between Gwen and Ellie but it was corney in a rather fun way, I thought. I'm not afraid to say this: This first issue of iZombie was better than every issue so far of the Walking Dead. It's just that great! (That one was for you Old Man. I miss you and I loved you like an older brother, pal) Story: 9 Art: 9.50 My Score: 10 (Doing that use to drive Lew crazy. ![]() |

It was quirky enough , but not too quirky that it was a turnoff. Mike Alfred is the definitive hipster artist. The main character seems likeable. The were-terrier was a cute thing. The supporting cast is interesting.I like the concept of the book and can't wait to see where this goes in future arcs. Story: 10 Art: 10 Overall: 10 R.I.P. Oldman |
